The wood grips are good. The bluing is turning grey, the receiver is nicely engraved. The bore is shiny, but has very little rifling. The wooden lock box has light scratches and measures 13" x 9.5" x 3.5" and has a compartment for a notebook and a place to write. The box contains a small oil can, cleaning rod, 27 bone and ebony dominoes with a brass rivet in fair condition, 3 ivory or bone dice and 2 unknown dice, a deck of antique Flinch cards with rules and 2 decks of vintage playing cards, 72 vintage/antique betting chips - some are believed to be clay, some with Fleur de Lis and some plain - an empty tin of Schrotzundhutchen 6 mm Flobert, a 6-round wooden 6mm Flobert shell holder, small memo pad and a compartment with cleaning patches and the key. The box doesn't seem to lock and one of the locking tabs is broken.
